CM ww WW Un auf efzafzaclm Long ago in Phoenicia, on the east coast of the Mediterranean, from whence came the founders of Carthage, traveling merchants paused to cook their evening meal by the seashore, and setting their utensils in prepara- tion, they beheld a miracle of the times. The heat of the fire caused a fusion of sand and alkali resulting in a vitriiied mass, which on subsequent development led to the discovery of glass making. Yes, it had been discovered that by fusing mixtures of various min- erals a substance we know as lass mi ht be roduced. It was found, too, . S S P . u that lass could be s un into thread and woven into cloth, amted and n g 0 P I u I 1 0 P pieced together into the mosaics of Asiatic origin. We of the graduating class at Rhodes School know something of glass, as we've shown, and we like to compare glass making to character building, especially as we have a builder of character who bears the name of this great product. Much as glass can be spun into thread, woven into cloth, and moulded into shapes and forms to meet our needs, so has Mr. Glass aided in shaping our characters, so that we may leave our Alma Mater well prepared to sanctify her name. His guidance and leadership have given us the flexibility to adjust, the hard outside to ward off temp- tation, the shape to fit into the pattern, and the variety and pattern of the mosaic so that we may blend with others. Thanks, Mr. Glass, for spinning us ino thread and weaving us into whole cloth. Thanks, again for all your kind assistance with our extra- curricular affairs. BEATRICE CLARKE 29
